Global Ambassador

If you listen to most people around you it is easy to hear only doom and gloom. Times are tough and many are genuinely in harder situations than they have been for a while. I just spoke with a good friend whose business showed a loss of £40,000 last month and has recently lost around M£2 worth of orders, scary indeed, as this guy is a real expert in his field and highly qualified with a fantastic history behind him.

I myself am delighted to announce that our small family business showed a healthy increase of over 20% in the last years figures and we know that sales are increasing. That isn't meant to sound arrogant - more like grateful. 16 years of hard invested time money and effort should show a pay-off otherwise why bother doing it?

The fact is, there is still business out there, you just have to be careful, positive and only practice what you have learned. Listen to what experience tells you to be true and not what you WANT to believe.

I have decided to offer a small business mentoring service to anyone who wants someone to talk to about getting a venture off the ground. I have a wealth of experience to draw on and have learned a great deal about what to do and what not to do. If you have anyone who could benefit from quality, impartial and honest advice, please direct them to my site.

I could help to save or make them a fortune...

Firstly, a sincere Happy New Year to everyone who visits my blog. I genuinely appreciate your interest and hope you are finding your own paths towards your dreams and aspirations. We all need a reason for living and a goal or target to work towards. Let's make sure 2012 is the year you realise all you wish for yourself and that by 2013 you are the person you want to be, where you want to be.

I have only made one New Years Resolution.

That is to only associate with positive, proactive people who seek to make a difference for themselves or for others.

I am tired of "talkers" and now only want to associate with "do-ers" and people who take a positive view on life. No more will I listen to anyone who insists on being negative about everything and seeks comfort from bringing others down to their miserable level. I don't want to hear negativity, I don't want to encourage it or give it any oxygen. The future must only be about what we can make better and not what we bemoan as being worse. If you don't like a situation - change it. If others aren't doing anything about it - you do it. Stop sitting back and complaining about the failings of others and instead approach them and show them why and how you can do things better. Aspire to make a difference you can be proud of. Why do so many think it acceptable to complain about what others are trying to do to improve a situation while they are doing nothing positive to help themselves?

It is said that this year may bring challenges of increasing unrest around the world about the state of the Global economy and that this will, in turn, spark animosity between races. People, it is said, will start to rise up against immigration, blaming migrant workers for taking their jobs...

If this happens it will be because the ignorant are allowed to propogate their anger due to a lack of understanding of the real situation which they ultimnately believe they can only influence or change by acts of violence, riots and protests.

Education is no single defence against ignorance, as we witnessed with the recent protests by teachers and administrators complaining about their pension schemes. Of course, in good times they may well have a case to argue, assuming their better than average worker privilages are fair in the first place, but while there is no money in the pot to maintain their pampered status they simply have to go without like the rest of us - until times improve.

Let us hope and endeavour to ensure that the future sees more realists coming through the social system to be seen to support common sense. Let us hope that everyone seeks to accept and encourage others that this IS indeed a time when we will have to make sacrifices and work together to turn a bad economic situation around. There is no point in "showing off and complaining" about your rights when there is simply no money in the system to fund it. Presently, the cupboard is bare.

This is a time for us to re-evaluate the society we live in and to refocus on the humaitarian and social apsects of living in a modern community where "money" is not  the most important issue.

Enough is as good as a feast - let us be satisfied with "enough" and turn our attention to others who do not have enough.

Happy New Year to each and everyone and let us all hope we can become better human beings who begin to place the needs of others before our own.

Frankly, many have been very spoiled with our affluent lifestyles in the West, now it's time to appreciate what we had and realise that when we rescue and turn this situation around, others are entitled to a share too.

Keep up with my more regular entries as I Tweet my thoughts on Twitter at #trevi1959 You'll be very welcome and you will be helping me spread word of my thoughts and plans as they progress.

2012 has to be a bigger better year for Global Ambassador as I continue my search for support, national participation and funding.

I shall be doing all I can to travel more and spread the word, hopefully gaining support as I go.

The World needs Global Ambassador right now to help promote the positive aspects of our shared Global Community - but apathy is a major barrier to climb over. I need your support - to date -  little is forthcoming.

Please, if you can help me move things forward to establish Global Ambassador as the premier platform for international communications - your assistance would be much appreciated.

Don't forget to follow me on Twitter!

With every newspaper and TV station spreading news of doom and gloom about the Global economy, political unrest and climate change it is obvious that the World is genuinely in considerable difficulty. It would appear that for all their supposed intelect and power, the majority of World leaders and economists have little or no idea what to do to even begin to put things right.

The Middle East is generally in turmoil with several countries currently dealing with civil unrest and the overturning of despots. The people finally demanding true democracy. Syria and Iran are a cause for concern by the West and even a potential threat as Embassies begin to be ransacked and diplomats expelled on both sides.

China, it is said, has a hidden cache of nuclear weapons in underground tunnels and yet, as a nation still remains an enormous mystery in terms of its relations with the rest of the world, outside of trade. 

The United Kingdom is without so much as a sea-going Aircraft carrier to protect its shores.

In Europe the French and Germans are trying to determine that all countries in the European Union will have their finances run from Brussels. This would effectively ensure that national Governments become powerless to control their own economies, a proposition that must be viewed as a passive move that would effectively allow Germany to dictate and control the financial future of citizen in the UK and throughout Europe. In effect an economic invasion of our shores without a weapon, any larger than a Euro, being raised in anger. Can it be right to allow that to happen?

Meanwhile, public employees in the UK are throwing their toys out of the pram and striking for more money and better pensions even though the cupboard is bare, thus suggesting that a huge section of the general British public have little or no idea just how serious the problems are.

What are we, the general public of the world, expected to do? So far we are apparently happy to sit back and watch and wait while those who are supposed to be in the know - sort everything out. But will they - or can they?

Frankly I doubt it and my own belief is that when all the meetings, discussions and debates run out, tempers will flare, muscles will be flexed and politicians will turn to talk of conflict rather than political cooperation. At present, everyone is being very polite and diplomatic - but that will surely change when backs are finally judged to be against the wall.

Something has to be done to maintain diplomacy and ensure further talking. Calm has to be encouraged along with an attitude to tactics of mutual benefit to all nations. We do not need headstrong liberal dictators offering hands of friendship that secrete handcuffs up their sleeves. We need unification of thought at a global level that will work to ensure everyone gets what is needed to put the world back on track nation by nation.

It will take time and great effort. Many years of austerity will no doubt be a part of the medicine but, whatever happens, calm must be maintained and a common acceptance of what has to be done must be instilled.

Global Ambassador has never been more needed as an unbiassed platform dedicated to promoting and supporting activity that benefits the entire global community. Yet so busy are the politicians with their partisan attitudes, political point scoring, career mentality, they do not see the woods for the trees.

Let Global Ambassador assist in at least providing a universally accesible platform through which nations can state their needs, objectives and intentions with regard to sorting out the global mess we are all in and affected by in some way regardless of where we may live.

But, am I expecting a knock on my door to embrace the platform as an aide to protecting peace? Sadly, no - not yet. At present we are still invisible to the majority who supposedly - know best. But my doors are open and willing to help communicate in simple terms what every ordinary person needs to know in order to participate and cooperate in the rescue of the Global economy and - maintained peace.

Let each nation state its case, explain its position, present its proposals so that we, the world public may understand and contribute, be it through a vote or through effort or patience, indeed whatever is necessary to help us all move forward to a better future.

Together we have more chance of sorting out the ness than we do by entrusting those who got us into it in the first place.

Let the people have a say, the time for change is now.

As an independent, non-political organisation, Global Ambassador has only a few potential income streams. The personal underwriting of founder Trevor Krueger, advertising, sponsorship, national or state membership fees and personal or corporate donations.

As the founders funds are limited we must depend on subscriber and client support. While the site is building there is of course little incentive for advertisers to buy space, though that will change considerably in due course.

In order to support our continued growth and efforts to provide a global platform for the development of international relations, trade and good causes we openly invite the support of the general public and corporations.

Global Ambassador will achieve a great deal of good for the World but we can only do that with your support.

If you would like to make a donation, no matter how small, please send your cheque payable to: Global Ambassador – c/o Trevor Krueger, 42 Heighams, Harlow, Essex, CM19 5NU, United Kingdom

Thank you for helping, your support is sincerely appreciated.

The time has come for us to invite new blood into the business to help develop what is, without doubt, an exciting challenge.

Global Ambassador seeks proactive partnerships with individuals interested in developing what proposes to be the World’s most exciting national promotion and social media platform.

Founder Trevor Krueger said; What we need is to tap into the enormous availability of talent out there who may currently be seeking a new challenge to work at or a sincere and proactive opportunity to invest in. Global Ambassador will not only promote nations at all levels, but will enable the populations of those countries to tell the World why they are special and why they should trade or visit. On top of that we will be able to highlight many good causes and social projects seeking support, it is all very exciting – but I now need help to make it happen, so come on if you think you have what it takes, this is a real opportunity to share in something wonderful...

Anyone interested in finding out more can reach Trevor Krueger at: trevor@global-ambassador.org

As I have no doubt mentioned here before, launching Global Ambasador has not been easy. It is an enormous task and help and finances are limited at this early stage, as people also struggle to grasp our new concept with its variety of facets.

The fact is, Global Ambassador is a very simple concept, like a Supermarket. Our objective is first and foremost to provide information, news and honest profiling of all nations. A platform that serves up the staple diet of facts about countries as they would want to be understood and considered by the rest of the World. That's not difficult to grasp. Normally, the news and information we all receive or hear through regular chanels is abstracted by outside opinion, be it political, editorial, religious or plain ignorance. So, Global Ambassador exists to bring the truth as best we can obtain if from the nations themselves.

Then on top of that we add a sprinkling of variety. Information about culture, cuisine, ordinary people, national dreams and objectives, like China aiming to build a new space station by 2020 or the World Vision organisation who simply want to help educate children so they can survive and eventually take themselves out of poverty in poor regions of Cambodia etc.

The change we are making to our way of working is very simple. To date we have tried to encourage nations to take the initiative to place themselves on Global Ambassador but, frankly, that isn't working due to the apathy of some individuals in office, or the corruption of those who won't help anything to happen unless they personally are being bribed to cooperate. We will not pay bribes!

So, instead we are now approaching businesses to act as national sponsors to help their country gain a voice on the Global Ambassador platform. This also helps us to remain free of any political association or potential corruption. So long as the right information is given a route to our readers, we are happy to accept sponsorship to cover our costs.

This week we have hopefully found three new Envoys to help with Malaysia, Bangladesh and India and we have also located a supplier of solar powered table lamps that can be charged in the bright sun all day and light dark homes without power in the evenings so families can save on fuel costs and, most importantly, children can study. If you want to help us provide these lamps you can make a donation of £20 to buy one.

The road ahead will never be easy. Global Ambassador will take all my energy and more to make it work, but make it work - I will!

With your help it would be so much easier so if you can help, please get in touch.

Global Ambassador is about creating a Global Community, improving communication, acceptance of other cultures and much more. All of which aids and encourages World Peace.

Isn't that worth getting involved with?

They say a change is as good as a rest - so three weeks running our family retail shop has offered me a chance to enjoy a change of scenery and activity that was both fun and productive. Even though the economy is currently struggling I am pleased to say our business is both busy and enjoying an upturn in trade. My wife returned from her trip to Malaysia and the Philippines both rested and happy with how the business had performed in her absence.

But now it's back to business with Global Ambassador and I am more determined than ever to develop our activities and deliver a first class service to the World which we hope every nation will soon come to value and appreciate.

New opportunities are presenting themselves to develop trade for companies seeking a new market and I am working hard to encourage new partnerships that will help me achieve more than ever before.

The world is changing all the time, it almost seems that every time it completes a full rotation yet another national development is evolving. History has a great deal to record right now, especially in the area of emerging democracy. Let's hope it continues and that, in time, every nation sees its own people enjoying more freedom and control over their futures.

This is a very hectic time right now, lots of work to do as always but August has been especially busy due to my lovely daughter getting married down in Somerset and my wife, straight after that event, flying off to see her family back in Malaysia for three weeks.

That means my son Ashley and I are left here to run the family business full time while she is away. Needless to say that has put the pressure on!

Normal service will be resumed at the beginning of September so please do come back and visit my blog then...

I'm still looking for help and support with Global Ambassador, it's much too big a job for just one person... so if you have nay suggestions or ideas about getting involved - please let me know.

Back soon!

It never fails to amaze me how many people with a criminal mentality are free and walking the streets of our cities. People we would otherwise encounter as we live and work in the same streets they are currently burning and looting, unaware of what they are capable of, given the chance and the excuse to revert to type. How safe are we in our general day to day dealings on the streets of the UK. Not as safe as we might like to think, apparently?

The Police are stretched and worse, helpless. Most of them in too low numbers to have any affect and others afraid to take action against the mob in case they are later questioned themselves for brutality in the pursuit of their duties and resuming control and ultimately punished themselves. Possibly losing their jobs and their pensions. A crazy situation when a police officer feels unable to enforce the law he represents.

England, we have to get a grip of ourselves and stop this situation escalating completely out of control. The time for liberalism in the name of "human rights" is over. We must regain control, respect and reintroduce the law back into the land.

We may not have the room to lock the rubbish behind bars but we have Courts who can still convict and, if nothing else, deal out heavy fines to help remind people that this is not Bedlam, this is Britain and we have a decent society to protect.

This is what I would do - were it in my power;

Anyone caught in the vicinity, without good cause, during a riot - £1,000 fine.

Anyone caught in an act of violence or vandalism,or looting - £10,000 fine.

Anyone found guilty of attacking a Police Officer - Life Imprisonment.

Parents found guilty of failing to control their children - £5,000 fine - ascending.

Anyone found guilty of causing death due to violence - The Death Penalty.

I know the latter is controversial, but the time has come to regain order and demonstrate that there are laws that must be obeyed, otherwise - why make any laws at all.

In this country some have become used to breaking the law without any care of the consequences. Ranging from "minor" offences such as using mobile phones while driving, to taking drugs or getting drunk and viloent in the streets. There is a decline in common respect or decency in the youth and lower ranks of society that has to be re-educated and corrected.

I have always believed that no punishment is too severe. Simply because, if you don't commit the crime - you will not be punished, it's as simple as that.

Any Government who shows the guts to bring back the law to this once proud and upstanding island - has my vote.

Let's get the "Great" back into Britain and remove the scum from society once and for all. It must begin in our schools by giving teachers more power to discipline pupils, continue through into the home with parents educated on how to bring up children and, indeed, behave themselves.

If something isn't done to rebuild the moral fabric of ordinary people - society is destined to slip slowly into complete anarchy.

Write to your MP and demand action is taken now!

Firstly, my apologies for my recent absence, demands on my time are incredible now and I literally don't have enough of it to go around. Plus, I have to admit, a complete lack of any comments or feedback on this blog makes it feel very much as though I'm just talking to myself or being observed by the CIA! If you have a comment, even a "Hello" it would be nice to know you are there...

Today though I am very much in thought about a worrying social development that I believe is a real cause for concern. I would be interested to know if you agree?

This weekends events in Norway suggest that an otherwise quiet and peacful young man, Anders Behring Breivik,  who spent much of his time working in a call centre and caring for his mother, has been harbouring a very differant and sociopathic side to his nature that would seem to have been fed and cultured through the net. Nobody knew anything about this dangerous and ultimately catastrophic side to his character or how many innocent young people would die and suffer as a result of whatever it was that deluded him. How could this have happened - and in Norway of all peaceful places?

But it strikes me we are all now living in a form of social schizophrenia shared between the "real world" and that cyber existence we seem addicted to on the net. Much as I am writing this now and you are reading it, we are all endulging ourselves in a much greater freedom of access to shared expression and information which is, in the main, free from any control or scrutiny. How much of what we read or write is fit for others to share and who holds responsibility for the damage it might do to us?

Where did that young man develop his crazed outlook on life. Was he systematically brainwashed by his entirely self deregulated access to whatever it was that shaped his thinking? Has someone coached or groomed him to do what he did, or his he just a madman who would have ran riot anyway?

Then, where did he learn how to make such a devestating bomb, where did he get the guns and ammunition, why did no one suspect he was up to somthing, did he not display some trait in his personality that gave cause for concern, or is he such a cold hearted calculating killer that he fooled everyone with meticulous planning and deception?

The truth is, there are probably many others out there, unknown to us, with the potential to tip over the edge and do something equally horrific.

The internet is a little like "Fire", potentially our greatest asset or, in the wrong hands, our cruelest enemy. Though the details are yet to come out, I feel certain the internet will have played a major part in moulding the mind of this young man and ending the lives of almost a hundred people - possibly more once the full body count is in.

Two Worlds within which this young man existed - somehow colliding, crossing over and resulting in tragedy.

Just this weekend I myself witnessed two respectable looking middle aged people, a man and a woman, screaming at each other and bashing each others cars in our High Street after the man gently tapped the back of her car in a minor accident.  A nothing event that a simple "sorry" would have solved. But no, they were shouting and swearing at each other. He got out of his car and kicked and punched hers, she got out of her car and took photos of him and his number plate with her mobile phone and the rest of the occupants in the cars queuing behind them both joined in with their own cacophany of expletives. Ordinary people who allowed a minor situation to escalate out of all proportion making for a dangerous situation at worst and utter humiliation at least. What made them like that? I doubt it was the net, but there is something modern society that seems to have made violence the first resort instead of the last. Is TV with its fascination for aggression, TV News with its focus on negativity or a simple belief that you have to be agressive to survive these days?

So where do we reside and under what influence? Is there a dark and malevolent force lurking in the net that will eventually turn more and more people into crazed killers or inwardly spiteful and isolated people who lack the skills of integration and reasonable communication and debate within the "real world" where they can voice their opinions and effect changes they believe in through a democratic ballot box and open intelligent discussion?

Whatever you think or believe, there is a great potential plot line developing for a horror movie about an international form of communication that appeals to and penetrates all walks of society which is used to turn the whole World against itself.

But it's not really going to end up like that... is it?
